Amosun urges women to address nation’s woes

Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun has challenged women to be proactive and address the negative situation in the country.

He gave the advice yesterday at the opening of the Women Conference organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials(COWLSO) at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island.

He said the theme of the conference: “Embracing and Managing Change”, was very apt considering the challenges facing the country.

The governor said: “The three key questions that we political office holders and members of the wider family should ask are as follows: Is what I am doing still working? Is it relevant? Am I expanding my post and sphere of influence? If one can answer positively to these questions, then he has passed life’s most important examination”.

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola called for more policies protecting women and children to be institutionalised.

Fashola said the government would not relent in promoting policies that protect the rights of women and children.

He reiterated his administration’s commitment to providing an enabling environment for women to thrive in all endeavours.

COWLSO Chairperson and wife of Lagos State Governor Mrs. Abimbola Fashola said the organisation would continue to sustain its live changing projects for the youths, the less privileged and the elderly
